Recent studies have shown that when milk fat is heated, a
homologous series containing the n-alkyl members of methyl ketones
with odd numbers of carbon in their chains are produced (48; 44; 38;
and 3). The same series of compounds also is found in evaporated
and dried whole milk and...
Fertilizer studies at the Oregon State University Vegetable
Research Farm were conducted for two years to evaluate the effect
of different nutrient sources on yield and selected quality components.
Sources of nutrients included sewage sludge, fresh and dried poultry
manure, a soybean residue from oil extraction, and several mineral
fertilizers....
A technique is presented for obtaining high resolution root locus plots and Bode diagrams. This is done by translating the origin of coordinates to the area of interest by an appropriate change of variable. The method is applicable to hand calculations or use of a potential analog computer. Examples include...
Streamflow forecasts are essential to the optimal operation of
hydroelectric and irrigation reservoirs in the Pacific Northwest.
Satellite snow cover observations would aid in these streamflow forecasts
by providing snow cover data at regular time intervals. Unfortunately,
satellite capability to remotely sense mountain snow cover
conditions is indeterminate due to...
The Oregon wine industry is growing and becoming increasingly valuable to the regional economy. As with many production industries, the wine industry has faced concerns around its environmental practices and community impact. The use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, and associated wastewater run-off are a few issues vineyard managers experience....
An oscillating plasma glow discharge detector for gas
chromatography is used to obtain fingerprint information
about an analyte by combining both the average cell
current and oscillation frequency signals. Five homologs
each of the n-alkanes, 1-alkenes, 1-alkynes, 2-ketones and
aldehydes are studied. Although triplicate determinations
had some scatter due to...
